Good afternoon! My name is Lauren and I'm a courageous recovering alcoholic/addict. When some people think of the Serenity Prayer, they automatically think of an addict. Before I got sober, when I heard that saying, I immediately thought of an alcoholic. That is was "their" motto. Now, I am one of "those people." In all actuallity it can be used in everyday life. The defition of change is: thequalityofmindorspiritthatenablesapersontofacedifficulty,danger,pain,etc.,withoutfear;bravery. Change is a hard thing. When I got sober, I didn't just quit drinking, I had to change everything. Every aspect of my life has changed. My outlook on a lot of things are different too. I also had to realize what I CAN'T change. I can't change other people, the only thing I can change is my reactions. I needed to learn how to think things through before I say them, not just blow up and overreact. This is a continuing process. It's an every day thing that I need to work on. Another quote I like is: When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails” -H. Jackson Brown Jr. Well that's all for today1 Have a great one!
